Question 1

I'm a bit worried because I had a chest X-ray on May 20, which was all clear. But then another X-ray on July 1 showed tenting of the left hemi diaphragm. Can someone explain what this means and if I should be concerned? I was COVID positive on April 9, and I haven't been vaccinated yet. Plus, my heart rate is pretty high, and I'm experiencing chest pain. What should I do next?

Question 2

I'm really struggling with my asthma and sinus issues. My dad has asthma too, so it seems like it's something we're both dealing with. I've been on medication prescribed by my doctor for the last 3 years, like budamate 400 nasal spray and montair 10, but they haven't been helping much. Recently, I went to CMC Vellore, and my doctor there suggested I try budecort 200, fexinase, and lukotas for six months. But despite trying all this, I still get fevers and colds quite frequently, and I recently had a bout of influenza. Now, I'm having chest pain, and it's making breathing feel really heavy. It's like my problem is only getting worse, especially when the weather changes. I avoid cold things, but it doesn't seem to help much. I'm just really curious about whether asthma is ever totally curable because it seems to just keep coming back. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

Question 3

I've been having trouble with my nose getting blocked every morning around 5 a.m. for the past few days. I'm currently taking Telma 20 mg and Montair R10 once a day in the morning, along with using the Seretide 500 inhaler twice a day. Could any of these meds be influencing my symptoms, or is there something else going on? Any idea why this might be happening?

I'm really worried about my brother. His oxygen levels are around 90, and he's got a cough in his lungs, but all his tests for COVID, typhoid, and malaria came back negative. He's been admitted to the hospital and is on oxygen, but his levels aren't improving. What should we consider doing next?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
